Applications are being accepted for two $500 scholarships to be given in February 2007
to honor Carole M. Davis, a founding member of GHEC.
*** Submissions accepted through Friday, December 22, 2006, 6pm EST.***
Carole M. Davis MSW served two terms on the Board of Directors, and along with Ron Pust
and Christopher Krogh co-authored one of the organization's early publications, Preparing for
International Electives: A Mini-Guide to Resources.
At the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Ms. Davis took the initiative to establish an elective
in Belize, which has long been popular with medical students. Along the way, she helped many
students arrange international electives. She was always a true champion of international health
electives and programs for students.
GHEC is accepting applications to fund or supplement funding for projects that will take
place between spring 2007 and spring 2008.
These scholarships are given to students or faculty who are either GHEC members or from a
school that is an institutional member* of GHEC.
The names of scholarship recipients will be announced at the 16th annual GHEC conference to
take place in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic in February 2007. Conference attendance is not
required to qualify for scholarship funds.
The awards are based on statements of no more than 1,000 words that describe the global health
activities for which the applicants will use the funding.
The project described in the application must take place within the ensuing 12 months of being
recognized for the funds.
Recipients are expected to provide a report describing the project upon its completion; and award
monies are sent after approval of the report by the scholarships committee.
Recipients are encouraged to submit an abstract of the completed project for presentation at the
annual GHEC meeting of the following year.
Priority will be given to projects that encompass GHEC's interest in learning or research activities
in emerging countries or disadvantaged populations in North America.
